    Oh, meant to add: regarding cooking noodles for soup? I found that it makes the soup too starchy for my taste to cook them with the veggies, meat, etc.. And the corn pasta can turn it yellow, so I cook the noodles separately, to a good al dente, (tinkyada is about 11 mins. no matter what the package says/ 13 if you are making them for pasta dishes) --then...

    Safe journey and send me pics!! xx Temps in the minus range already? girl, you need to move to Croatia permanently. That is just plain wrong to be in the minus numbers in September. Your bones and muscles need HEAT. love ya--have a wonderful time. It was 86 today and I swam in the ocean.... just sayin . That "Hilarity Insueingness" --dear...

    ok, I spit a teensy bit of wine on the laptop just now

    They range from abdominal cramping to bouts of C and D to headaches. I have flagging fatigue, yet I cannot sleep. I incur some hair loss, little red oozey sores on my face and scalp may erupt, and I feel very foggy brained, listless and ill (like I have the flu) yet, I am also "antsy". I am uncharacterstically grouchy and somewhat jittery and I cannot...

    First of all, any number of health problems (and medications and viruses and food intolerances) will cause diarrhea and GERD, so I would not leap to celiac right away, Herman. Celiac is NOT a wheat allergy. Celiac is an autoimmune disease of the small intestine that can cause a myriad of symptoms and it is diagnosed by blood tests and/or endoscopy...

    The G F Rice Krispies are NOT CROSS CONTAMINATED. I eat them sometimes and I would feel it, believe me. THEIR WEBSITE: "We produce it in a separate facility and test each batch to make sure that it’s gluten-free".

    no, that's all you, kid. You did the homework and wanted to get well. Just stay the course! And wash your hands....and wear clean undies. love, mom

    I wish I could go!!! Bard-lover that I am. (just moved to Florida from NY, so it's not possible) but it sounds like it would be great fun with plenty of G F fare. Have a wonderful time! It is so good of you to share this information.

    Scientists rock! (and not just because I live with one...) I was reading about targeted cell therapy in multiple myeloma a few weeks ago (my cousin is beating that sucker into remission right now, thank God) and certain forms of lung, breast, thyroid and kidney cancers. Sounds promising!!!.

    fairy dust and Santa -- BOTH GLUTEN FREE!!

    very interesting article...and this one was also related and I found it fascinating...thanks for the link, C. Open Original Shared Link

    um, guys....no, this woman told me it happened while she was sitting on the bus. She was not eating anything. So...the gluten, what? absorbed somehow off a stain on the seat..?..through her clothes, then through her butt tissues, and somehow magically landed in her intestines? I was not buying it.
  13. IrishHeart
    Oh, we always point people to valid sources that provide the information about celiac myths: Tricia Thompson, Shelly Case, U of C , etc. as Karen mentioned...and you know what happens? People argue loudly with us anyway. I cannot tell you how many times someone has vehemently told me she was glutened by any of the following: envelopes, stamps, dirty seats...

    ARCHIVED Ah!

    IrishHeart replied to NateJ's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    Having just done the prep a few weeks ago for a combo colonoscopy & endoscopy with biopsy of my entire GI tract, a test for h.Pylori and polyp removal (amazing what we reveal on her...ahem....) , I can say "I hear you", but I did it because it was necessary and without it, I'd have no knowledge of my status/prognosis. I know it's not exactly the...

    Your celiac test results could well be invalid because you were off gluten. Hard to say. If I were my 30-something year old self again (after having had multiple miscarriages and never carrying to term), I'd go to a reproductive endocrinologist. I know a whole lot more now than I did back then and one is: Fertility doctors may not get to the root of...

    Peter, I agree. I was recently given a clean bill of health by my GI who once worried if I would have refractory sprue. (ok, there is a bit of intestinal wall scarring from the celiac disease but he says that's not unexpected) but, for someone who was as sick as I was, my nearly 3- year recovery was accomplished while I (1) ate out and traveled (2) used...

    me neither, unless I have earned it.

    ... if someone would bring us a tray with some coffee and cake, we'd probably never leave....
  19. IrishHeart
    Nope. not at all. Seriously? I would never read any relevant current research, change my entire household, diet and nutritional plan, read books by reputable celiac specialists, work on two websites dispensing free advice like skittles, counsel people in my community who need help learning the G F diet, compile a thread for the newly diagnosed, annoy the...

    I was not looking for a "glaring mistake". I was looking for clarity. I was trying to understand how on earth you could be glutened so badly by touching a wrapper. It's impossible. And even though you have added more details, I still do not see how it is possible. I am not saying something didn't happen to you; I am saying I have no idea how touching...

    I used the Rainbow Light protein powder for a while.(allergen-free and vegan for those who wish that) I have added all sorts of veggies (i like to chop up kale and freeze it and add a handful) , fruits (banana, pineapple, berries of all kinds are my faves) a cup of coconut milk or almond milk and sometimes, plain greek yogurt. I add TBLS. of nut...

    She needs some fiber like ground flaxseed meal, lots of water, probiotics and a good swift kick in the behind.

    I do not really understand your post .. I went with my family to a natural food coop and they had supper. I shopped around. I accidentally touched a package with gluten on the label. I picked up, as a special treat, some Go Papaya, a dried product. It only contains dried only papaya according to the label. I went out to the car and ate my dinner...
  24. IrishHeart
    fish, shellfish, peanut butter, almond butter, cheese of all kinds, beans, white bean chili,.hummus, yogurt and protein shakes helped me. Eggs (I cannot have those--but they are a good idea, too) I loves me some protein!
  25. IrishHeart
    and one I value highly. Because it makes sense. Sometimes, I think we overthink this stuff. IMHO
